Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz spaghetti , pieces (i usually just use a large handful of , use the regular not thin or angel hair)
1/4 cup butter (can use a little more when frying)
1/2 lb fresh sliced mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tbsp fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
1/4 tsp cayenne (optional or adjust to taste)
5 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 -4 tsp chicken bouillon powder
2 cups good-quality chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half cream
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt
2 (170 g) cans tuna (drained and hand-squeezed to remove any moisture)
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 egg yolks
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional or to taste)

Directions:

Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
Chop the spaghetti coarsely. (I usually chop about 4-inches but it does not have to be exact).
Cook the spaghetti until firm-tender (do not overcook the pasta!) drain and toss with 1-2 tablespoons butter or oil to prevent sticking.
In a saucepan melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat (can use a couple tablespoons more butter if desired, I always do!) add in the sliced mushrooms and cook stirring until they release their moisture (about 6 minutes).
Add in onion, garlic and cayenne pepper; sauté for about 3 minutes.
Add in flour and chicken bouillon powder; mix with a wooden spoon for about 1-2 minutes (the mixture will be slightly clumpy ).
Stir in the broth and cream; bring to a light boil over medium heat whisking continuously until smooth and thickened.
Turn off heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese (or cheddar cheese if using) mix to combine until melted.
Season sauce with salt and black pepper (I use seasoned salt).
Add the cooked cream mixture to the cooked spaghetti; toss well to combine, then add in the tuna, green bell pepper and egg yolks; mix very well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a prepared baking dish.
Top with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350°F oven (oven rack set to second-lowest position).
If desired you may sprinkle about 1 cup (or more) grated cheddar cheese on top after baking but that is only optional.
DELICIOUS!
